You probably could, but you’d have the taste of citric acid (which is not awful) and baking soda in the water. The Spärkel has the water that activates the reaction in a separate chamber so they don’t wind up in your drink. You need to change that water every four or five times you use it.

I use a “Spärkel” carbonator. Instead of CO2 canisters, it uses packets of citric acid and baking soda to generate CO2 and uses a compressor to infuse the liquid.

Pros:

• You can either use their pre-measured packets if that’s convenient for you, or do what I do and just buy a bulk amount of both the citric acid and baking soda.
• You can carbonate pretty much any liquid. Water, wine, flat soda, mixed drinks, you name it. The sodastream will explode and cause a huge mess if you try to carbonate anything besides water.
• They don’t appear to be Israeli.

Cons:

• Because it uses a compressor, it needs to be plugged in to operate. It’s pretty loud too!
• It takes longer than a sodastream. While a sodastream is almost instant, this will take 1-3 minutes depending on the level of carbonation you desire.

On a related note, is anyone working on a CEO assassination simulator?

Let me enjoy making fun of them! ;)

From what I can tell, that’s not unique to the lemmy network.

I guess being loathed and having an indifferent at best reaction to your murder is one potential negative consequence of participating in an industry that that devalues human life in exchange for profit as a matter of course.

What makes it “cartel style?”

I was curious too, and… Avatar appears to have a co-op mode. Not really high stakes for cheating.

I honestly don’t think I could. I don’t think that’s an English word.

I don’t think its ethical to portray straight people in video games at all.

If “your” phone belongs to your employer that’s the choice you made. It isn’t yours.

To apple? Linux phone experience is just trash.

I live in Pennsylvania. I will not be voting for Joe Biden.

I feel nothing but alienation when I see a rainbow flag, or rainbow branding.

/s is for cowards! I will never!

I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn’t be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc

What? No, he isn’t. These interviews always suck.

EDIT: It’s so funny that 19 people got angry at this. Hey, try working on language! Try watching Peppa Pig or something! You’ll develop into a functional adult soon I’m sure. GET A LIFE!!! 😠😠😠😠😠

It’s bad. Pointing this out embarasses people who enjoy it though. (People who can probably barely read.)

Don’t worry about it, the angry edit was meant to be humorous- in general I agree that it’s a mistake to let downvotes upset you.

(And because I’m the admin of my own instance, the votes are made visible through the UI. So if I wanted to be a vindictive weirdo about it, I could… 😉)
